CONQUERING THE IMPOSSIBLE
C.A. Harmon, author
Treasures of the Shadows, Juvenile Fiction0
Hello all,
An extraordinary adventure exploded when Christopher A. Harmon contacted smartsite.com to have his book converted into a mobile ebook and uploaded to Mobipocket. In the first 15 minutes of my getting to know Christopher, I knew I had come face-to-face with celestial genius. To understand, you need to know “…he has multiple disabilities resulting from a little-known neurological condition since childhood. Originally believed to be terminal, the progressively degenerative disorder has rendered him deaf, legally blind, quadriplegic and dependent on a respirator. Because of the combined effects of hearing loss and a tracheotomy, he has no voice. Since his hands are paralyzed, he can’t sign, write or type. He communicates through Sign Language interpreters who, in turn, must be able to read his read lips.” YET, he wrote a book entitled The Hourglass Tales: Treasures of the Shadows and is a budding film producer.
To quote Christopher, “I was a prisoner of silence until I discovered the power of imagination. My books have become the gateway … for me to once again have a voice.”
